This incredible photograph shows Bowling Green Park — the oldest in the City — from above as it appeared about 115 years ago.

The article won't be published online unless this is 'true' published: true by the Detroit Publishing Company in 1900, the photo shows the hustle and bustle of downtown in the turn of the Century.
